Slideshow EXE / SCR does not support color management

Post by -noel- »

Hello,

This is my first post here:

The slideshow of xnview - running in the xnview GUI - works with color management / ICC / monitor profile very well, but a generated EXE or SCR slideshow does not support color management.
This can easily verified with a color management test image (e.g. http://www.color.org/images/browsertest.jpg and several other test images).

The slideshow feature of xnview is one of the best slideshows i know, it runs very smoth, the images are very crsip also when downsized, it works like a charm :D ... but the color management bug of the EXE slideshow is a pity :(
Is there a chance to get this bug fixed?

kind regards and many thanks to the developer(s) for xnview

I've tried several PCs - Win7 SP1 32 & 64 bit and WinXP 32 - all xnview EXE slideshows have no color management, although a monitor profile is enabled in the color management settings of windows.
Let me know, if I can do some more testing or analyzing for you.

since xnview itself cannot use color management settings of windows, it is unlikely scr will ever be able to first.

xnview does support color management very well:
"options -> general -> ICC -> use ICC Embedded Profile" & monitor profil in the next line
it works with slideshows running in xnview
So the slideshow exe should color manage the images, i.e. it should use the embedde ICC and the configured monitor profile of the machine where the slideshow is running on.
